The CDC 6400 was quite a bit advanced over ENIAC, but quite a bit more limited than an IBM360.

It’s here! My SoundingOut piece on the IBM360 in AMC’s Mad Men has been immortalized in print in this wonderful anthology!

Older than MSDOS here. The very first programming I did was in FORTRAN on an IBM360 mainframe in college.

Well the first I owned was a ZX81. The first I programmed was an IBM360 in 1969.

That's right. We'll give you your first one million char acters of on-line storage without charge—with additional amounts at only $10.00 per 100,000 bytes the moat out of those bytes. How? By designing files specifically tailored to your application requirements, using sequential and direct file organization and the full data management of OS/360—that's howl In fact, our application development staff will show you how to program your design analysis, prepare your inventory files, develop your inquiry system. Or any other area of your operation where our computers may be used to save you time. And money. Our time sharing services include a highly interactive conversational mode, plus remote job entry—both with access to the same online file storage of over 200,000,000 bytes. We can show you how to get the most out of your time sharing Investment. We're willing to prove it by giving you your first million bytes free.

Monash has a small computer museum at Caulfield. Here’s the control panel of the classic IBM360. Very swish, but you were paying top dollar. Our CS dept could only afford the knockoff clone the Interdata 7/32

El 17 de julio de 1924 nace Gerrit Anne Blaauw, científico informático holandés, conocido como uno de los principales diseñadores de la línea de computadoras IBM System/360 , junto con Fred Brooks, Gene Amdahl y otros.

Assembly language, I learned enough to realize that I do not like programming, Started with the IBM360 took some college courses in the 1970's.

My first computer was an IBM360…. Not quite desktop material.

I think this was my 3rd or 4th home computer. (My first was an IBM360 over dialup, and then a DEC PDP8 at work, booting with keys and paper tape)

パソコンという革命は計算センターに行かないと使えなかったコンピュータ（IBM360に代表されるような個人所有が不可能なメインフレームと呼ばれた大型コンピュータを使わせてもらうしかなかった）を個人所有できるようにした所で紐付き、共有ではない専用のコンピュータを実現した所に意味があるので、インターネットに繋がったことは今となっては時計の針を一気に巻き戻した効果があったし、ネット世代になっての企業家は独占型のビジネスにどんどんよっていった。マイクロソフトなんか今となってはかわいいもんでしたね。ネット世代は反トラスト法の運用が甘くなって楽な世界にやりたい放題。かくしてコンピュータは暗黒時代に戻った。

Patch tapes!
You were lucky!
I learned IBM360 assembler using punch cards!

I was 16 and I learnt APL on an IBM360. This was before “Hello World”, so we learnt how to calculate the orbit of a satellite in three dimensions.

So AI, It's a tough challenging time for tech? Nah. Only for them Young players. We moved from IBM360 Mainframe Beast to LAN Distributed Processing Servers then to PC then to The WEB and Dotcom. It was a breeze

IBM360的总设计师，《人月神话》的作者，在书中提及，优秀程序员的效率是普通程序员的10倍，工资则是2倍。此条定律好象至今仍起作用。

I'm not sure that the first video game I ever played even qualifies as a video game. Computer game, yes.
Star Trek Battles (1972) is a turn-based ASCII game played on an IBM360. E for Enterprise, K for Klingons, on an 8x8 game grid. Turns were printed out on a dot matrix printer.
Special to me? Yes

En la UTFSM en el 77 tuve ramo de Fortran IV en un IBM360...Los trabajos y tareas iban en tarjetas perforadas..Una programación como 230 tarjetas..Un error y habia que ir a reperforar la tarjeta!..En esto!👇

이후 베이서 대학에서 수학과 컴퓨터를 38년동안 가르칩니다. 그레이스 호퍼를 통해 IBM사와 연줄이 닿았는데 1967년 당시 최신예 컴퓨터였던 IBM360 시스템을 들여옵니다. 민간 대학으로서는 두 번째였죠. 또 IBM연구센터를 베이서에 세우도록 로비도 합니다.1982년 교직에서 은퇴했습니다. 베이서 대학은 1989년 그녀의 공헌을 기념하여 새로 지은 컴퓨터 센터의 이름을 "애스프리 고등 컴퓨터 연구실"로 지었습니다.
위니프레드 애스프리는 2007년 10월 19일 세상을 떠났습니다. 향년 90세였습니다.
